There's going to be an off-Broadway Clinton musical

Clinton the Musical will debut off-Broadway this spring in New York, featuring dancing reporters and Lewinsky scandal prosecutor Kenneth Starr singing a number called "Sexual Relations."

The show includes plenty of jokes about Hillary Clinton's then-future political career. "That's part of the fun of doing something that's set in the past where people know what's going to happen in the future but the characters in the past don't know what's going to happen," said writer and composer Paul Hodge. "That's an opportunity for comedy."

But perhaps the most interesting feature of the 1990s retrospective musical is its inclusion of two different actors playing Bill Clinton, "one a wholesome, intelligent Clinton, and another a randy, rogue one." Hillary Clinton is the only character who can see both.
